TAIPING: People in Taiping are surprised that a new block of a Chinese primary school in Simpang near here is named after Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Nga Kor Ming. Businessman Tan Chai Kie, 69, said nothing like this had happened before in any Chinese school where donations received from the government bore the name of a certain MP or even a minister. “But that did not mean a building was named after them because these politicians insisted that the money was from the government, and it was not proper to have a building named after them. “I respect the decision made by the school and please be reminded that it is a decision made by the school’s board of governors. It was reported in the Chinese press that the school decided to name the new building block after whoever donated RM100,000 and more.
